The Telangana High Court on Friday granted a
four-week interim bail to actor Allu Arjun, who was arrested earlier in the day
by the city police in connection with the death of a woman during the screening
of his latest movie 'Pushpa 2' here last week.
The
HC order came shortly after the actor was remanded to judicial custody for 14
days by a local court. He was sent to the jail at Chanchalguda here following
the remand, amid tight security arrangements.
The
HC pronounced the order granting bail to Arjun while he was being taken to the
jail.
The
court directed the actor to cooperate with the authorities in the
investigation, while granting him interim bail. Allu Arjun
not at fault, says husband of woman who died at 'Pushpa 2' premiere
The
husband of a woman who died when fans jostled during the December 4 premiere
show of 'Pushpa 2' at a film theatre here, said on Friday he doesn't hold the
film's male lead Allu Arjun "responsible for the tragedy".
Bhaskar,
the woman's husband, stated he was "ready to withdraw" his case over
the incident.
"Allu Arjun is not at fault for coming to the
theatre. I am ready to withdraw my case," he told reporters.
Bhaskar
added that he was not informed by the police about Arjun's arrest and learned
about it only from the news.
His
eight-year-old son, who suffered serious injuries in the incident, has been
undergoing treatment at a private super-speciality hospital here.
